Chapter 810: Borrowed from Shane
āItās comingā¦ā Diana muttered as the ground trembled. She already expected this, but it was still quite a terrifying scene.
Just like that, out of the smoke emerged a towering figure. It was nearly three meters tall, smaller than Giant Zombies or some King-Type Zombies, but it was still huge.
Furthermore, its body was far more grotesquely mechanized than the othersā¦
It had metal bones fused with muscle, armored plating grafted over its chest and limbs. Then, two massive engines protruded from its backā¦
Unlike the single-engined Fleshy Mech Zombies, this huge Zombie had twin engines and was belching black smoke without stoppingā¦
It seemed like the Fleshy Mech Leader Zombie or maybe even King Zombieā¦
āNowā¦ That looks scary.ā Diana thought after seeing its eyes glow with crimson light. It was far brighter than its kin.
Unlike the wild, jerking motions of lesser Fleshy Mech Zombies, this one moved as if it already knew what to do to its targets.
It didnāt take long before this Zombie was able to dash forward.
It had a faster dash and longer range than the others!
The Wardens braced upon seeing the dash as their shields lockedā¦ But the moment the leader dashedā
BOOOOM!
It crashed into the formation like a runaway truck.
The shockwave sent several Wardens flying back as their shields warped from the impact!
This commander or leader didnāt stop.
Its hands found two Wardens in one motion and crumpled them like paper.
Their Sentinel Spheres tried to protect them, but the Zombie didnāt even seem to notice this barrier. It was simply too strong!
On the wall, Dianaās face hardened.
āThat oneās differentā¦ far stronger. Sir Asadā¦ā Diana muttered as she turned to the Necromancer.
Asad finally stepped forward. He was fully equipped with his new Dark Mage set, and he was eager to try his newfound powers.
After a few moments, he summoned his Grimoire and raised his Staff. Its skull-topped crown rattled as if it were alive and was anticipating the battle.
Suddenly, the gaze of the Fleshy Mech Leader fixed on him, almost recognizing him as the true threat.
āHoh~ Is it that intelligent? This may not be a Leader Zombie but a King Zombieā¦ā Asad muttered to himself as he watched its twin engines howl as if mocking the Necromancerā¦
Soon, the black smoke surged thicker around its body like a shroud.
āStay behind the wallsā¦ā Asadās voice could be heard across the battlefield. āThis one is mine.ā
Although there were dozens of Legendary Recruits in the Shelter and they were willing to fight against the huge Zombie, they still followed Asadās words.
After all, they may be Legendary Recruits, but their weapons and equipment werenāt at the same level.
Most of them only had an Epic-Grade Set.
Nonetheless, without waiting for a reply, Asad summoned his undead creatures.
āSince Shane sent me hereā¦ I have to work harder.ā Asad muttered.
To be honest, he wanted to see Shaneās floating castleā¦ He heard that Shane wanted to release it in order to obliterate the Vampire Lordās secret base.
Yesā¦ Shane was apparently planning to destroy the whole mountain or city ruins where the Vampire Lord might be hiding. He didnāt plan to send elites or a small group of Survivors to hunt the Vampire Lord. He was planning to use technology to do it for him.
āI hope I can board it laterā¦ā Asad thought as he wasnāt sure if Shane would immediately bombard the Vampire Lordās suspected base or would wait for a clearer report.
Nonetheless, from the depths of the earth, three Death Knights rose upon his callingā¦ They were also towering, armored figures with black greatswords blazing with black fireā¦
Their presence alone froze the nearby Survivors in awe.
Then, the air became colder as the Wraith Queen suddenly formed out of nowhere. Its form was half ethereal, half skeletal, but it seemed more terrifying than the Death Knights.
Then, the Skeleton King appeared next. With its crown of bones and colossal halberd, it made its presence known with a roar that was quite unexpected from a skeletonā¦
Still, this roar summoned swarms of skeletal warriors, and ghastly revenants emerged, filling the black fogā¦
Well, this saved Asad some Spirit Points since he no longer had to summon some cannon fodder for them.
Just like that, the horde of undead clashed against the Fleshy Mech Leader or King and the remaining zombies.
BOOOOM!
This twin-engined Zombie also roared, and it rammed its bulk into the Death Knights, sending one sliding backā¦
It was powerful but not enough to topple the Death Knightā¦
Furthermore, the other two swung simultaneously, and their greatswords bit into its mechanized hide.
Clank!
From here, they confirmed that this commander had more mechanical parts than flesh parts as they were met with more sparks than gore from that exchangeā¦
Yet, the beast roaredā¦ It was unfazed, and its engines started fueling more monstrous strength.
Then the Wraith Queen unleashed her scream.
The sound distorted the fog, shattering the senses of the lesser Fleshy Mech Zombies and making the commander stumble for a brief moment.
āAs expectedā¦ youāre resistantā¦ā Asad muttered with a smile.
He lifted his staff, and the earth cracked once more.
From beneath the Fleshy Mech Leaderās feet, chains of bone erupted, binding its limbs!
āThat cost me 400 Spirit Pointsā¦ā Asad thought to himself as he believed that it was enough to restrain the Zombie for some timeā¦
Then, at the same moment, the Lich appeared, flying high above the smokeā¦
This Lichās hands were glowing with dark green flamesā¦ It gathered more flame for a moment before launching a barrage of it that exploded against the zombieās armor.
Each blast tore away its metal plating, exposing pulsing flesh that seemed to have fused with machinery.
The creature roared louder, and it seemed to be the sign for its engines to exceed their limits!
VVVVRRROOOOOOOMMM!
The Fleshy Mech commander broke free from the bones Asad summonedā¦ For a brief moment, it ripped through the bone chains like paper.
But Asad knew that the Zombie commander couldnāt do this without expending so much energyā¦
āThat engineā¦ I want itā¦ā Asad said as he held the Lootkeeperās Timepiece, an item he borrowed from Shane.
